Recurrent inhibition crosses the spinal cord midline in humans

The paper demonstrates contralateral inhibition in human spinal circuits through experiments and modeling, revealing a commissural pathway involving V3-like interneurons.

Spinal rotational dynamics orchestrate locomotor recovery

This study shows that spinal motor populations use rotational dynamics in a low-dimensional neural manifold for locomotion, which persists after spinal cord injury and suggests an intrinsic spinal attractor mechanism.

Recurrent inhibition, not presynaptic inhibition, contributes to the velocity-dependent control of motoneuron output during eccentric contractions

The paper investigates how angular velocity affects spinal inhibitory mechanisms during eccentric contractions, finding that recurrent inhibition, not presynaptic inhibition, shows velocity-dependent changes.

Muscle length modulates recurrent inhibition and post-activation depression differently according to contraction type

This study investigates how muscle length affects recurrent inhibition and post-activation depression during different contraction types in soleus muscles.
